In the club's first ever season in which they had entered the Counties League Division, Newbridge Town finished 4th and in the same season won the Counties Cup. In the following seasons the club gained further success, winning Division 2 and gaining promotion to Division 1, quickly winning that League and moving into the Leinster Junior League where they played well known clubs including Cherry Orchard, Home Farm, and Wayside Celtic. Newbridge town moved relentlessly through the grades and into the Leinster Senior League winning the Senior Division in the 1998/99 season.

Off the pitch the Newbridge Town had developed a Youth Project involved in the development of talented young players. Youth Teams were introduced to cater for the huge increase in interested potential young players. 2nd and 3rd teams were also formed in order to cater for the huge interest in soccer witnessed in the town in the club's maiden year. In 1973, the club Committee headed by Joe Carey, Joe Barry and Tony Hannigan invited Wacker München from (Germany) to play against Newbridge Boys. Two matches were played and both games drew crowds in excess of 2,000 to Ryan's field for each game. Both matches ended in draws. At the same time, Tom Shaw was selected for Irish Youth team becoming Newbridge Towns first international. He was quickly followed by goalkeeper Alan Gough. In the early 1980s the club bought land beside the railway station in Newbridge town and named it Station Road, playing their league games there.

In 2002 Newbridge Town were invited to join the Eircom League. However, it was decided to invite all interested football bodies to a formation meeting for a team that all of Kildare could support. It was decided to take this giant step under the name of Kildare County.

Over the years Newbridge Town has developed its facilities at Station Road and now contain a sports hall, a clubhouse, a 250-seat stand, training facilities, new all-weather pitches, showers and dressing rooms. The club has also increased in the number of teams it fields and now includes two ladies teams and 10 schoolboy teams ranging from the Under-9 to Under-16 age groups. It has recently installed a new 550 seat stand.
